SOME wretched doggerel attacks upon
General Bragg are being put in circula-
ton by officials of the G. A. r. at national
headquarters in Madison. The following
is a specimen brick from this structure of
malicious nonsense:
Three cheers for Hepburn and Henderson
Hurrah HurTahl
Three yroans for Bragg, the son-of-a-gunl
tt1Toans, groans, groans.l
Let us all be cheerful happy and mild,
And stand by each other and brave Ealrchild,
And all feel as gay as when we were marching
home.
No one can deny the devotion to patri-
otto sentiment which inspired this ode
Bragg prevented the treasury from being
thrown open to just such greedy para
sites as the writer of the ode. They pro-
pose to stand by "brave" Fairchild. The
bravery which commends itself to men
of that stamp is just such as Fairchild
has been manifesting since he became
Misunderstanding military orders in
fustian style until people have become
heartily sick of the iargon. The soldiers
who were such when danger was abroad,
approve of Bragg's course. Indeed the
deserving soldier has no better friend, and
it is Bragg's greatest weakness to be too
partial to soldiers whom he knew did
good service There is no one who can
command his services more readily. But
those who are going through military
evolutions now and earning distinction
by issuing bulletins and planning cam
paigns to enlarge the pension ist,-this
crew are not friendly to Bragg. Fair
child is hopping about with his ''staff'
like old King Lear with his followers and
perpetrating great deal of nonsense.
His pseudo-military position and attach
ments would do no harm unless when they
are made a bureau for the manufacture
and distribution of such stuff as the poem
from which the above is an extract.
No man with courage sufficient to be a
soldier would use such weapon to at
tack any one. No one with manhood
enough to feel thrill of patriotism would
distort General Bragg's speech in the
manner some have done. Such things
are the work of those fellows who were
infatuated with the beating of drums
and the waving of flags, but whose ideas
of soldierly qualities never went beyond
show.

LORD LANspowNE in a speec

LORD LANsDowNE In speech lately,
expressed approval of the reception o.
Brien received in Canada. This will
make people generally express disapprov-
al of the noble lord. O'Brien's treatment
was brutal in the extreme and reflects no
credit upon the authorities which allowed
If. 1t has injured Lord Lansdowne's
ease. There were many who believed o.
Brien's course was objectionable imper-
thence. But any people should be
stirred UP against an executive who not
only permitted such violence but openly
expressed approval. The attempt to MUIR
der O'Brien has drawn attention from his
mission and centered it upon the violence
to which he was subjected.

THE consolidation of the revenue dis
tricts of this state may be an honest eff
fort at economy but it is very foolish
proceeding so far as the efficiency of the
service is concerned. Years ago the state
included six districts, later it was reduced
to four and now it is brought down to
two. There are no complaints that the
position of collector was sinecure, and
indeed the deputies were kent quite busy
at work even beyond the usual office
